- Screencast: stops working on window resize - crashes movie file output
- Screencast now draws simple brush overlay to indicate mouse cursor.
- Greasepencil now works again to use MMB for view rotates
(and missed proper redraw signal for toolbar, at end of paint)
These timing data can then be used during conversion to Curve objects, to create a path animation (i.e. an Evaluation Time F-Curve) exactly reproducing the drawing movements.
Aside from this "main feature", the patch brings several fixes/enhancements:
* Stroke smoothing/simplifying will no more move the start/end points of a stroke (this was rather annoying sometimes!).
* Also optimized smoothing code (even though not really noticeable on a modern computer, it now uses less memory and runs faster).
* When converting to curve, you now have the following new possibilities:
** Normalize the weight values (currently, they will get "stroke width * 0.1", i.e. would range by default from 0.0 to 0.3...).
** Scale the radius values to your liking (again, currently they are set from stroke width times 0.1)!
** Link all strokes into a single curve, using zero-radius sections (this is mandatory to use the dynamic feature!).

Will update user manual later today.
The alt+shift+RMB menu to select objects didn't handle 'extend' (now called toggle).
Was due to code cleanup for selecting (and new CTRL+SHIFT+Select).
Now the shift+alt menu behaves like shift+clicks.
Code to support it was lying around for long already, but not controlled by UI nicely.
Now you have in user preferences "System" tab an option to set it.
NOTE:
- it only works saving as User startup.blend, and restart Blender.
- your system should support it, no check for it is visible in UI
- tested only on iMac OSX 10.7

was added for cycles.
This fixes the case where the option is disabled. I moved the option now to
Blender itself and made it keep the engine around only when it's enabled. Also
fixes case where there could be issues when switching to another renderer.
Sequencer recursion was never actually supported and only gives lots of
issues. Disabled it now, so users are not getting confused by semi-working
stuff.
Also made a correction to rendered sequencer preview, so now using scene
strip in it's own sequencer will work properly (it produced black frames
before).
This required killing compositor jobs since they could be using the same
render result as renderer called from sequencer uses.
Small improvements could be:
- Add slight delay before compositor job starts handling nodes so killing
this job would be fast
- Tag compositor to be updated after preview was fully rendered.
some of these were only returning a boolean, others returned a count even though only a boolean was needed.
split some of the functions in two as well where check/count are both needed.
User Preference setting for Color Picker type only affected the popup
version. Now it uses it for all color pickers in Panels too.
Note for UI Py team: col.template_color_wheel() function follows
the userpref - might be a need for rename here? Dunno how to handle
this. Comment noted in template code.
- Don't crash if there's any fcurves created for sequencer but no sequencer itself
- Don't copy sequencer's fcurves when copy new scene with linking data/objects method
This commit allows you to set the RGB <-> XYZ axis colours used for things like
the mini axis indicator, grid axis indicators, manipulators, transform
constraint indicators, F-Curves (when using XYZ to RGB colouring option), and
perhaps something else I've missed. Previously, these places all used hardcoded
defines (220 * i/j/k), but the readability of these colours was often quite
poor, especially when used with certain themes.
The settings for these colours can be found under the "User Interface" section
of the themes (i.e. same set of colours is used across editors). I could have
made these per editor, but since it's unlikely that these will need to be too
different across editors in practice (+ being easier to version patch), they are
stored under the UI section.
This rewinds the fix for revision 50483.
- the removed code there (as comment said) closes menus on hoovering over another
button in panels. Is unfinished feature to allow quick inspecting menus
by mouse-hold going over menu popup buttons.
- It added yet another check for closing menus - should be done with ->saferct
- The actual bug was simple; the block flag with UI_BLOCK_MOVEMOUSE_QUIT was
accidentally cleared for colorpickers.
There were a bunch of other issues with dupli motion blur and syncing, the problem
being that there was no proper way to detect corresponding duplis between frames
or updates. As a solution, a persistent_id was added to the DupliObject. It's an
extension of the previous index value, with one index for each dupli level. This
can be used to reliably find matching dupli objects between frames. Works with
nested duplis, multiple particle systems, etc.
this will give some speedup but its mainly to simplify the function.
- use bmesh adjacency data, was building its own data, left over from pre-bmesh.
- use a flag to store visited edges rather then a hash.
- store edge pointers in the heap rather then index values (was converting back and fourth a lot).
Two fixes for NDOF device:
- RNA item for setting turntable or trackball for ndof was using wrong variable
- Some moment the option "rotate around selection" stopped to work for ndof.
Note: the latter option doesn't do dolly in, use shift+ndof for that.
